Oni ofte trovas, heroo altaroj aŭ memoro ekspozicioj , al skisporte faroj el antaŭaj tempoj.

Kaj ankaŭ ĉie, aĉetebla suveniroj kiel ĉi tio ĉizitaj lignaj ĝemelaj pinoj ornamis per bunta papera festoserpentuma.

Og det′ noget de kan li' i det danske parti,
Helt f*cked up på sne. ...
Woow, sagde jeg det?
...
Meget skal man høre, Gud bevare mit humør.
Tror de selv at de kan lægge byen tør?
Se toppen fatter ik' en dør af hvad de gør.
Sådan vil det være, sådan har det altid været før. Ey!

Well-behaved women rarely make history.

5 years ago today, Her Maths Story went live with our very first story. What started as a small idea has grown into a global, supportive community celebrating women in maths. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who has shared, read, supported and believed in this journey. Here’s to the stories still to come 💛✨

Great short thread from @lioness, about being a "queer elder" when you're not even old.

I've spent time around active Zen practitioners (real ones, not posers) in a few great periods of my life.

One thing I love about Zen Buddhists is what I think of as their flintiness.

They can be as compassionate as the day is long, but in my experience, they cede no ground to dangerous nonsense.

Absolute role models.

Kids need proper role models or they'll latch on to whoever can in any way meet that need.

🌍✨ Celebrating the power of mentorship and role models this #InternationalWomensDay! 💫

Today, we honour the incredible women in mathematics from all around the world who are paving the way for future generations. We picked three quotes from fantastic women we featured who reflect on the role models and mentors who shaped their journey:

💬 “Although I may have never told her, [my PhD advisor] has always been my role model in this field. My aspiration is to be a source of inspiration and guidance for my students, just as she was for me.” (Liliana Esquivel) 📖 https://hermathsstory.eu/liliana-esquivel/

💬 “(...) I took the route of role models like Howard Wolowitz from the Big Bang Theory and Dr. Amelia Brand from Interstellar, and chose a degree in Aerospace Engineering.” (Sanchita Chakraborty) 📖 https://hermathsstory.eu/sanchita-chakraborty/

💬 “(...) I had a meeting where my mentor said “when you go to graduate school”. I had no idea what graduate school was, but I knew that if she believed in me, then I should go to graduate school.” (Pamela Estephania Harris) 📖 https://hermathsstory.eu/pamela-estephania-harris/

🔍 Tip: You can search our stories for specific hashtags, e.g. https://hermathsstory.eu/tag/mentors/.

“In recent years, my academic perspective has evolved. I wish to remain active in research, but more than teaching, I want to share my passion. My passion is mathematics—its structure, its theorems, and ultimately, its beauty. I believe that by sharing this passion, I can inspire others to appreciate the elegance and depth of mathematics. I aim to create an engaging and stimulating learning environment where students can explore, question, and develop a profound understanding of mathematical concepts. My goal is to ignite their curiosity and foster a lifelong love for the subject, just as my mentors did for me.” - Liliana Esquivel

Talks by Isabella Spaans and Anne-Roos Verbree (both from UMC Utrecht) on role models for students in human MedEd gave me much to think about; we very much need diverse role models in veterinary MedEd, but this needs careful attention. Being the only lighthouse in the midst of other kinds of buildings can be a lonely place to be.

I've no answers, but more thoughts here: https://rebeccanordquist.edublogs.org/2024/05/20/role-models-edi-and-lighthouses/
